I won an election, said
to be one of the greatest of all time, based on getting out of endless &
costly foreign wars & also based on Strong Borders which will keep our
Country safe. We fight for the borders of other countries, but we won’t fight
for the borders of our own!

Brett McGurk, who I do
not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. Was supposed to leave in
February but he just resigned prior to leaving. Grandstander? The Fake News is
making such a big deal about this nothing event!

If anybody but your
favorite President, Donald J. Trump, announced that, after decimating ISIS in
Syria, we were going to bring our troops back home (happy & healthy), that
person would be the most popular hero in America. With me, hit hard instead by
the Fake News Media. Crazy!

When President Obama
ingloriously fired Jim Mattis, I gave him a second chance. Some thought I
shouldn’t, I thought I should. Interesting relationship-but I also gave all of
the resources that he never really had. Allies are very important-but not when
they take advantage of U.S.

The only way to stop
drugs, gangs, human trafficking, criminal elements and much else from coming
into our Country is with a Wall or Barrier. Drones and all of the rest are
wonderful and lots of fun, but it is only a good old fashioned Wall that works!

I am pleased to announce
that our very talented Deputy Secretary of Defense, Patrick Shanahan, will
assume the title of Acting Secretary of Defense starting January 1, 2019.
Patrick has a long list of accomplishments while serving as Deputy, &
previously Boeing. He will be great!

I just had a long and
productive call with President @RT_Erdogan
of Turkey. We discussed ISIS, our mutual involvement in Syria, & the slow
& highly coordinated pullout of U.S. troops from the area. After many years
they are coming home. We also discussed heavily expanded Trade.

Unthinkable devastation
from the tsunami disaster in Indonesia. More than two hundred dead and nearly a
thousand injured or unaccounted for. We are praying for recovery and healing.
America is with you!

We signed two pieces of
major legislation this week, Criminal Justice Reform and the Farm Bill. These
are two Big Deals, but all the Fake News Media wants to talk about is “the
mistake” of bringing our young people back home from the Never Ending Wars. It all
began 19 years ago!

Senator Bob Corker just
stated that, “I’m so priveledged to serve in the Senate for twelve years, and
that’s what I told the people of our state that’s what I’d do, serve for two
terms.” But that is Not True – wanted to run but poll numbers TANKED when I
wouldn’t endorse him…..

…..Bob Corker was
responsible for giving us the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal, which I ended, yet he
badmouths me for wanting to bring our young people safely back home. Bob wanted
to run and asked for my endorsement. I said NO and the game was over. #MAGA I LOVE TENNESSEE!

Thanks @RandPaul “I am very proud of the President.
This is exactly what he promised, and I think the people agree with him. We’ve
been at war too long and in too many places…spent several trillion dollars on
these wars everywhere. He’s different…that’s why he got elected.”

“It should not be the job
of America to replace regimes around the world. This is what President Trump
recognized in Iraq, that it was the biggest foreign policy disaster of the last
several decades, and he’s right…The generals still don’t get the mistake.” @RandPaul

Mitch McConnell just told
a group of people, and me, that he has been in the U.S. Senate for 32 years and
the last two have been by far the best & most productive of his career. Tax
& Regulation Cuts, VA Choice, Farm Bill, Criminal Justice Reform,
Judgeships & much more. Great!

The most important way to
stop gangs, drugs, human trafficking and massive crime is at our Southern
Border. We need Border Security, and as EVERYONE knows, you can’t have Border
Security without a Wall. The Drones & Technology are just bells and
whistles. Safety for America!

“The President has been
remarkable. I do not doubt that he will thrive in this new environment, and he
will be a constant reminder of what populism is.” Thank you to Tammy Bruce and
Steve Hilton. Presidential Harassment has been with me from the beginning!

President @RT_Erdogan of Turkey has very strongly
informed me that he will eradicate whatever is left of ISIS in Syria….and he
is a man who can do it plus, Turkey is right “next door.” Our troops are coming
home!

Virtually every Democrat
we are dealing with today strongly supported a Border Wall or Fence. It was
only when I made it an important part of my campaign, because people and drugs
were pouring into our Country unchecked, that they turned against it.
Desperately needed!

To those few Senators who
think I don’t like or appreciate being allied with other countries, they are
wrong, I DO. What I don’t like, however, is when many of these same countries
take advantage of their friendship with the United States, both in Military
Protection and Trade…

….We are substantially
subsidizing the Militaries of many VERY rich countries all over the world,
while at the same time these countries take total advantage of the U.S., and
our TAXPAYERS, on Trade. General Mattis did not see this as a problem. I DO,
and it is being fixed!

For all of the
sympathizers out there of Brett McGurk remember, he was the Obama appointee who
was responsible for loading up airplanes with 1.8 Billion Dollars in CASH &
sending it to Iran as part of the horrific Iran Nuclear Deal (now terminated)
approved by Little Bob Corker.

The only problem our
economy has is the Fed. They don’t have a feel for the Market, they don’t
understand necessary Trade Wars or Strong Dollars or even Democrat Shutdowns
over Borders. The Fed is like a powerful golfer who can’t score because he has
no touch – he can’t putt!

The Wall is different
than the 25 Billion Dollars in Border Security. The complete Wall will be built
with the Shutdown money plus funds already in hand. The reporting has been
inaccurate on the point. The problem is, without the Wall, much of the rest of Dollars
are wasted!

Saudi Arabia has now
agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria, instead of
the United States. See? Isn’t it nice when immensely wealthy countries help
rebuild their neighbors rather than a Great Country, the U.S., that is 5000
miles away. Thanks to Saudi A!

I am all alone (poor me)
in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on
desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to
make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all
talking about. Crazy!

I hope everyone, even the
Fake News Media, is having a great Christmas! Our Country is doing very well.
We are securing our Borders, making great new Trade Deals, and bringing our
Troops Back Home. We are finally putting America First. MERRY CHRISTMAS! #MAGA
